This blog is gradually being retired. All movie guides are being moved over to my new site, Mr Hull's Movie Guides, where you'll find updated and expanded versions of these posts. You can find the new version of this guide here.
Description
This 20 page movie guide with additional activities accompanies the film "Inside Out 2 (2024)".
★★ Check out the full preview! ★★
This guide may also work well as a sub plan for your substitute teacher.
PART 1 – Comprehension questions in chronological order. I have made three sets for differentiation. The multiple choice questions may also work well with ESL/ELL students. Answer keys included.
- 50 questions requiring full sentence answers.
- 30 questions requiring full sentence answers (20 removed from the 50 question set)
- 30 multiple choice questions with 3 possible answers.
(Note: the answer to the last question is after the ending credits.)
PART 2 – Storyboard and synopsis
- Students to draw a 9 scene storyboard of what they believe to be the most important parts in the movie. To include a brief description for each scene. Remind students they can look at the movie questions to help with the sequences.
- Using their storyboards as guides, students to write a synopsis of the movie.
PART 3 (1-5) – Characters. Group Work: This task is for groups of 5. (Or could be pair work and completed together)
- Each student will get one of the 5 original emotions from the movie (Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, Sadness) and complete the worksheets which include connecting the emotion to the new ones (Anxiety, Ennui, Envy, Embarrassment)
(6) – Characters
- Students to choose one of the new emotions to write about. Includes describing the look of the emotion, how it connects with any of the other ones, describing a scene from the movie that included chosen emotion, giving an example of how the emotion could be used to have a positive outcome.
PART 4 – Discussion questions
- Pair work. Students to complete 5 questions to discuss as a class.
Following on from the previous movie, Riley has become a teenager and puberty fast approaches. Experiencing a new set of complex emotions, Joy and the others who have been running things so far suddenly find themselves trying to adapt to this unexpected change.
